2 Corinthians 8
1 Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God which hath been given in the churches of Macedonia;
Wachalal, kamik kꞌut kaqaj kiwetaꞌmaj ri utoqꞌobꞌ ri Dios ri xuya chike ri komontyox ri e kꞌo pa Macedonia.
2 how that in much proof of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.
We e komontyox riꞌ pune iꞌkꞌowinaq pa sibꞌalaj nimaq taq kꞌaxkꞌolal xuqujeꞌ e mebꞌa, sibꞌalaj nim sipanik xkiyaꞌo je ta ne chi qas e qꞌinomabꞌ.
3 For according to their power, I bear witness, yea and beyond their power, [they gave] of their own accord,
Qas xinwilo chi ri sipanik ri xkiyaꞌo qas pa kikꞌuꞌx xkꞌiy wi, man xa ta xetaqchiꞌxik, nim xkiyaꞌo cho ri qas kekwin chuyaꞌik.
4 beseeching us with much entreaty in regard of this grace and the fellowship in the ministering to the saints:
Sibꞌalaj xkita toqꞌobꞌ chaqe rech kekwinik ketobꞌanik, kakiya bꞌik ri sipanik chike ri e tyoxalaj taq winaq.
5 and [this], not as we had hoped, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us by the will of God.
Sibꞌalaj nim xkiyaꞌo cho ri qachomam apanoq uj rij, rumal cher tzi xkijach kibꞌ cho ri Ajawxel xuqujeꞌ chiqawach uj, jetaq ri karaj ri urayibꞌal kuꞌx ri Dios.
6 Insomuch that we exhorted Titus, that as he had made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace also.
Rumal riꞌ xqata toqꞌobꞌ che ri Tito chi karilij ubꞌanik we chak riꞌ, rumal cher areꞌ majininaq kanoq ubꞌanik.
7 But as ye abound in everything, [in] faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and [in] all earnestness, and [in] your love to us, [see] that ye abound in this grace also.
Ix iwetaꞌm chi sibꞌalaj ix utz chubꞌanik ronojel, ix utz pa ri ikojobꞌal, pa taq ri itzij, pa ri iwetaꞌmabꞌal xuqujeꞌ pa ri iloqꞌanik chike nikꞌaj chik, rumal riꞌ chiwilij uyaꞌik ri sipanik.
8 I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.
Man xa ta tajin kinbꞌij chi tzi jewaꞌ wi kabꞌan che, xane are kawaj kiwetaꞌmaj jas keyoꞌw sipanik ri nikꞌaj alaxik rech taq ri nikꞌaj taq komontyox chik, rech jeriꞌ kiwilo chi qas tzij ri kiloqꞌanik.
9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might become rich.
Ix iwetaꞌm chik ri utoqꞌobꞌ ri Ajawxel Jesucristo, chi pune qꞌinom, xux mebꞌa rumal iwech, rech rumal ri umebꞌail kixux qꞌinomabꞌ.
10 And herein I give [my] judgment: for this is expedient for you, who were the first to make a beginning a year ago, not only to do, but also to will.
Kinya jun inoꞌj puꞌwiꞌ we jastaq riꞌ. Ix xixnabꞌej chuyaꞌik ri isipanik junabꞌir, man xwi ta xiya ri isipanik, xane xibꞌan rukꞌ ronojel iwanimaꞌ.
11 But now complete the doing also; that as [there was] the readiness to will, so [there may be] the completion also out of your ability.
Chibꞌana bꞌa ri chak rukꞌ kiꞌkotemal, jas na kꞌu ri kixkwin chubꞌanik, chibꞌana ri xitzuj ubꞌanik.
12 For if the readiness is there, [it is] acceptable according as [a man] hath, not according as [he] hath not.
Rumal cher we jun kubꞌan rukꞌ ronojel ranimaꞌ ri utzujum ubꞌanik, utz kabꞌan chukꞌamik ri kutzuju, rumal cher man katoqꞌix ta che ri man kꞌo ta rukꞌ.
13 For [I say] not [this], that others may be eased, [and] ye distressed:
Man are ta kawaj chi kakiriq utzilal nikꞌaj chik rech maj kikoj ix, xane are kawaj junam ri kikojo.
14 but by equality; your abundance [being a supply] at this present time for their want, that their abundance also may become [a supply] for your want; that there may be equality:
Ri itobꞌanik katobꞌan chike pa ri kꞌaxal ri tajin kiꞌkow wi aꞌreꞌ, rech jampaꞌ chik ri kitobꞌanik aꞌreꞌ katobꞌan chi iwukꞌ ix, are kajawataj chi jun jastaq chiꞌwe.
15 as it is written, He that [gathered] much had nothing over; and he that [gathered] little had no lack.
Jacha ri kubꞌij ri Tzꞌibꞌatalik: Man kꞌo ta xkꞌojiꞌ kanoq rukꞌ ri nim xuyako, man kꞌo ta xuqujeꞌ xajawataj che ri nitzꞌ xuyako.
16 But thanks be to God, which putteth the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus.
Tyox che ri Dios, xuya pa ranimaꞌ ri Tito chi xkꞌaxir ukꞌuꞌx che ri kꞌaxirinaq wi na kꞌuꞌx in.
17 For indeed he accepted our exhortation; but being himself very earnest, he went forth unto you of his own accord.
Puꞌkꞌuꞌx xpe wi xukꞌam uqꞌabꞌ ri xqabꞌij che, xuqujeꞌ xubꞌan rukꞌ kiꞌkotemal.
18 And we have sent together with him the brother whose praise in the gospel [is spread] through all the churches;
Xqataq bꞌik rukꞌ ri alaxik ri sibꞌalaj nim xil kumal konojel ri e komontyox rumal ri upatanijik pa ri utz laj tzij.
19 and not only so, but who was also appointed by the churches to travel with us in [the matter of] this grace, which is ministered by us to the glory of the Lord, and [to shew] our readiness:
Ri e komontyox xuqujeꞌ xkichaꞌo we alaxik riꞌ rech kujrachiꞌlaj bꞌik are kaqakꞌam bꞌik ri sipanik, kaqabꞌan we riꞌ chukꞌutik chi kaqaqꞌijilaꞌj ri Ajawxel xuqujeꞌ kaqakꞌutu chi qas kꞌax qakꞌuꞌx chupatanixik.
20 Avoiding this, that any man should blame us in [the matter of] this bounty which is ministered by us:
Man kaqaj taj kujyoqꞌik rukꞌ ri kaqabꞌan chukojik we jun nimalaj sipanik riꞌ,
21 for we take thought for things honourable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
rumal cher kaqaj utz kaqabꞌan chukojik, man xwi ta cho ri Ajawxel, xane chikiwach konojel ri winaq.
22 And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have many times proved earnest in many things, but now much more earnest, by reason of the great confidence which [he hath] in you.
Kaqataq bꞌik ri qachalal ri sibꞌalaj ukꞌutum chiqawach chi sibꞌalaj sakꞌaj, qas xqꞌalajin chiqawach kamik chi sibꞌalaj jeqel ikꞌuꞌx chirij.
23 Whether [any inquire] about Titus, [he is] my partner and [my] fellow-worker to you-ward; or our brethren, [they are] the messengers of the churches, [they are] the glory of Christ.
Are kꞌu ri Tito are wachiꞌl xuqujeꞌ toꞌl iwe, e taqtal bꞌik rumal ri komontyox, rech kakiya uqꞌij ri Cristo.
24 Shew ye therefore unto them in the face of the churches the proof of your love, and of our glorying on your behalf.
Rumal kꞌu riꞌ chikꞌutu chikiwach we winaq riꞌ chi sibꞌalaj kiꞌloqꞌaj, xuqujeꞌ chikꞌutu chikiwach jas che nimal kaqanaꞌo rumal iwe, rech jeriꞌ kakil konojel ri e komontyox.
